"...basic concepts like moving"
Well, I'm moved. No other blog post can capture the insanity and hilarity of moving with animals better than this one from my new favorite blog Hyperbole and a Half:
Dogs don't understand basic concepts like moving
I can tell you from personal experience that cats don't either.
My brain has stopped working, so instead, I took a cue from Hyperbole and instead drew some pictures of Aria (keep in mind I nearly flunked art class in elementary school).
Here is Aria's beautiful face, meowing her sweet little head off:
And here's the view I've been getting since her favorite napping spot disappeared:

and heck. i'm a human and don't understand basic concepts like moving.
Moving is definitely challenging, both mentally and physically. Congratulations on getting through it! Enjoy your new place!

Happy you've done it :)
The main thing about kitties is that they like their environment to be constant and unchanging - and they thrive on ritual. I think I was a cat in my former life.
Aw, poor Aria! Our dogs weren't keen on moving either. The three puppies didn't care all that much, but we had an eight year old Border collie too, and he pretty much quit eating for the first month. Border collies are also known for their obsessive traits, so I think they are probably with cats in not liking change very much. He lived for another seven years after that though, so he was okay in the end :)
That pursed rear end is so eloquent!
Glad you are moved in. I love that Hyperbole and a Half post. It is so true. Animals, like people, can have such a hard time with change. I was lucky in that mine did fairly well.
Hopefully, Aria will become more relaxed soon and find a new favorite napping place.
Hope you enjoy your new place!
Art therapy at its best!
Impressive drawings for capturing the moment!
Good luck in your new physical space.
Wow - that's the best paint rendition of a cats @rs3h0le, that I've ever seen.
(Not, I hasten to add, that I've seen that many!)
Animals are so therapeutic. Sometimes they sense our distress and they tend to us. Other times they provide us with a comical reflection of our inner struggles (fear of change). Glad you have Aria to make you smile!
Aria will soon learn to love her new environment, and if you move in a few years, she will get mad all over again. (I see that second view from Aliena whenever I take away a "toy" that could harm her!)
Congratulations on your own place!!!
